Palm Beach Adult Entertainment: Thief swipes $50000 tattoo blaster from Westlake nonprofit clinic
March 27th, 2010 by adultpalmbeachBut when she walked to the back room, it was empty. The machine was gone. Police investigators later interviewed a passerby who saw someone roll it away around 1 a.m., said Capt. Steve Ruiz of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Rampart station. “They were pushing a large device,” Ruiz said.
Police are continuing their investigation. But Ashamalla said she doesn’t have much hope.
The organization is probably out of business “unless something fantastic happens,” she said.
Ashamalla said the machine was not insured. She said that she tried to insure it, but that Sunrise’s nonprofit status was an impediment. A used version in today’s market might cost $25,000, she said, far beyond the group’s meager resources.
With the loss of the machine, “all that’s here is a broken window and an empty room,” she said.
Gang members, prostitutes and other underworld denizens in Los Angeles often get their tattoos and a young age, marks of ill-conceived loyalty that later hinder them when they try to get jobs and change their lives.
